Leveraging Nasdaq’s proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, we analyzed the prevalence of ESG discussions in the earnings call transcripts of Russell 3000 and MSCI USA ESG Leaders constituents to keep up with the quarterly conversation that goes on between companies and the investment community. The findings can be incorporated into the preparations for the next earnings plan and can be used to guide corporate disclosures and discussions of ESG strategy. 

The Q3'22 ESG Trends Report elaborates the following topics:

  • MSCI USA ESG Leaders see continued momentum of ESG discussions
  • What are the most common ESG matters discussed?
  • Climate Transition continues to be a key area of interest for sell-side analysts
